| Dead Kennedys – MTV - Get Off The Air Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| "you gotta watch MTV and listen to mainstream bands like rancid...." - no, you don't have to. i got into punk far more through my local scene than through "mainstream bands." sure, i like "mainstream bands" now, but i still like the local scene better. And if u wanna see a video of a band you like, download it. If your on this site you obviously have acces to a computer. MTV does a lot more than just run videos. They market to the "average teen". They want us to all be the same, so they can sell us all the same music and the same clothes. And no, this isn't speculation. They're proud of it, they've documented it. It's a real shitty thing to do. | |

That's the problem nowadays. Punk has become an image. And yes, i have seen local shows with alot of non-punks. It pisses me off to hear a kid say "oh, i just came for *insert hardcore band here*. i hate punk, i just like metal" or to see the girls who came because some "hot guy" went and just sit there and look depressed for the rest of the night after the one pop-punk set ends. Oh, and yes, i have shopped in hot topic. Well, let my 'rents buy me some shirts. Yea, that's right, my parents buy me clothes. Whop de doo, a couple 12-15 dollar band shirts at hot topic becuase its cheaper than ordering them online. Beats paying 40 dollars for a t-shirt at the local trendy store. Shoot me. I'd never buy those gay 80 dollar "bondage pants". I mean they're kinda cool, but hell, 80 bucks, no way. Make your own or something. And yes, i like ames/walmart/salvation army for clothes too. You can find some great stuff that's actually affordable. And no, i'm nowhere near rich, although i have some friends who are. Punk is about being open and tolerant, not single-minded and lame. When people complain about preps/jocks whatever, they mean like the type of person that would go to a punk show one night, than the next day in school crack some racist jokes and actually mean them, and rip on kids for how "dirty" they are or call them fags or something. And there are times when i would have voted for a repubican candidate. Oh well, so maybe i'm not a typical punk. That's just it tho, there shouldn't be a typcial punk. Like on MTV or whatever i hear theres more and more punk bands. Even rancid has been on MTV. WTF! i haven't watched MTV (in many years :))since i saw a video on how they market to us kids. It's so greedy, MTV isnt about the music at all, they're all image and profit. And so now the "punk image" is becoming like that too. Ok, im gonna shut up now. W/e, go support your local scene. PS- Jello for president 2004 |

| AFI – God Called In Sick Today Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| This song is definately a great song, I think you can take the meaning for whatever you want it to be. Although both the mother idea and the idea of religion causing pain and suffering both sound on or close to the mark to me. | |
